BOSTON VS.. WASHINGTON.
BosToN, August 19.-The Bostons
played in great luck to-day, being out
batted and outfielded by the Senators,
yet winning. The Washingtons failed
to fathom the curves of Madden, get
ting but three scattering hits. There
were no runs until the ninth inning,
when they pounced upon his deliv-
cry and made four singles and three
bases and home run, getting five
earned runs. Wise fielded both bril-
liantly and loosely. Horning tried to
lay off in the third inning, claiming
lameness, but Doesher ordered him
to field and he played out the game
with limping gait. The attendance
was $4,000. Score Boston 8, Wash
ington 6.
INDIANAPOLIS VS.. DETROIT.
INDIANAPOLIS, August 19.-To-day's
ten inning game between the would
be champions and indianapolis was
contest between the pitchers, in
which Shreve, who pitched his first
game for the home team, came off
first best. He was pretty wild in the
first two or three innings and gave
six men bases on balls, but soon got
over his nervousness and held the
visitors down to five actual hits, three
of which were scratches. Brown, the
new center fielder, distinguished him
self by making difficult running
catch off Benefits terrific drive past
second, when the bases were full.
Conway also pitched a great game,
and although not having as many
struck outs to his credit as Shreve,
was very effective on several occasions.

Tiernan and Ward. Burlington pitched
with great effect. Welch was hit hard
in the first two innings, but settled

game. Connor's home runs were
